YDL 4.0 no Network

[Steve Meyer]

Interesting new development...

After three installs of YDL, I realized I was never prompted to select 
DHCP or manual IP config.  Now, with a different NIC (3Com) installed, 
and after running the YDL CD installation again, the NIC is listed and 
I get prompted to choose my IP configuration!  So, the problem was 
related to YDL/Fedora not recognizing the onboard NIC.  This may be 
important for the Blue & White G3 "hardware supported" notes on 
Terrasoft's web site.
